    So, I had a thread going last fall about my Genie lift, then it got snowy and wintry, and I didn't use the machine much, and didn't want to work on it in the freezing VT winter and never really got to the bottom of my problem. Now that it's spring I need to get it up and running. Last fall I...

    1997 Genie z45/22 engine quits high idle

    I have the above lift, and have owned it for about 5 years. The serial number is z-45-007082. It's a Deutz diesel. Aside from replacing some hoses, everything has been working fairly well until recently. The engine starts and runs fine initially, and when you press the foot pedal or...
